Human Resources - Deep Dive 4: Motivating Staff – The Key to Business Success
Episode 4: Motivating Staff – The Key to Business Success
In this episode of the GCSE Business Studies Podcast, we explore the crucial role of staff motivation and the various techniques businesses use to inspire their employees. Discover how motivated staff contribute to business success by:
- Increasing productivity and accuracy, ensuring strong performance.
- Reducing staff turnover, saving time and money on recruitment while retaining valuable skills.
We dive into the different financial incentives used to motivate employees, including:
- Salary: A fixed annual amount paid monthly, offering predictability but lacking a direct link to productivity.
- Wages: Hourly payments that encourage working longer hours but may lead to slower task completion.
- Commission & Piece Work: Payment based on output, incentivising hard work but potentially affecting quality.
- Profit Share: Sharing a percentage of profits with employees, fostering teamwork but potentially demotivating high-performing individuals.
Using BrewBliss, our fictional trendy café, as a case study, we illustrate how these financial incentives are applied in a real-world setting.
Perfect for GCSE Business Studies revision, this episode provides practical insights into the strategies businesses use to keep their teams motivated and performing at their best.
